Retreat Details:
My name is Kristin and I wholeheartedly welcome you to my Nook Bali Retreat. This Retreat is open to those wanting to break away from routine and immerse themselves in a week of healthy practice that brings about balance and renewal. It is open to anyone (all genders) that it deeply resonates with & feels like is in true alignment for them. I am a yoga teacher, qualified Occupational Therapist and studio owner with years of experience, offering regular classes and events from Nook Studios, a little boutique studio in Mt Maunganui, New Zealand. I fell in love with Bali over 17 years ago and regularly continue to travel with my husband and family. I have joyfully fallen in love with the Balinese culture, it’s people and receive a sense of fullness from being immersed in its vibrant yoga community. It’s been a privilege to have taught in local studio’s and to have held retreats on the magical lands of Bali. Holding space for others to re connect is my life’s work and passion, being the witness of transformation in others gives me no greater joy. I offer my experiences and all of my favourite treasures from getting to know Bali well. This retreat has been deeply considered and I believe I have chosen a space that will honour the replenishment, rejuvenation, and reconnection of mind, body and spirit that perhaps you may be seeking. This 7 day immersive and nourishing experience, meets guests with a warm soulful, welcoming environment. My intention, best care and intuition have crafted for you a full 7 days experience, with the main thread being to slow down, to enjoy, laugh, rest and soak up the incredible atmosphere.
On this retreat you will immerse in an optional 6hrs of varying yoga practices per day, from Slow morning movement, to grounding late afternoon Yin practices. On each of our full days we create spacious ‘self time’ where you an opt to deepen your yoga with a more dynamic style of vinyasa/Ashtanga practice or choice to surf, read, sleep, swim, sauna + ice bath or choose from other activities available. You will experience the Balinese culture through a Welcoming Balinese Ceremony, travelling up into Ubud to the Water Temples and through the on site Balinese private chef serving our vibrant vegan/vegetarian meals, both Indonesian and western style of food. Supporting immersions include conversion therapy workshop sauna/ice bath, breath journey and sound healings.
